The Saturday rain exposed tall claims made by Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) about monsoon preparedness. Numerous suffered waterlogging, leading to water entering several homes in parts of the city.
The newly laid cement roads caused most of the waterlogging, citizens said. With cement roads getting elevated above the previous road levels, rainwater entered many houses in areas such as Manewada, Shrihari nagar, Omkar Nagar, Shyam Nagar.
“Without any demand, NMC demolished asphalt roads and built cement roads in front of our house. Water entered our house due to these roads. Now NMC should compensate us immediately”. Reshma Rathod, Residence, Srihari Nagar
